The developers working on the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved at 343 Industries have announced that they will be including stereoscopic 3D in the re-release in order to add a new way of looking at the classic game experience for fans.

Dan Ayoub, who is the executive producer working on Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, has told Eurogamer that “People are taking their games and putting them in HD and saying, 'Yo, remake, go! Halo fans deserve better than that. We really wanted this to be a celebration of 10 years of Halo.”

The addition of three-dimensional gaming to the remake is a sign of the extra quality that the title will offer to those who have played the original.

Still fans should not take this move as a sign that the entire series will embrace 3D from now on.

He added, “I don't think 3D is representative of a goal for the franchise. This is something we wanted to do for Anniversary, because we wanted to make it special with as many cool features as we could.”

The team working at 343 Industries has revealed that most of the gameplay concepts in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will be unchanged from the original game and that they are aiming to make the game as accessible as possible for all those new to it.

343 Industries is also working on Halo 4, the mysterious next game in the long-running series featuring Master Chief.

The game will apparently be the first in a full new trilogy set in the same universe.

Former developer Bungie is now working with Activision Blizzard and is rumored to be creating an MMO with shooter elements.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is set to be launched exclusively on the Xbox 360 home console from Microsoft on November 15 and it will cost 39.99 dollars, which is less than the normal price for the platform.
